22-October-2011. Sab-BOT-age's 5th time participating at Duel on the Delaware. Also the first FRC competition for 6 new students.

In spite finishing qualifications at 19th out of 28 teams, 4th-ranked team 365 (Miracle Workerz) selected us as their first alliance partner (thanks, MOE!), filling out the alliance with team 87 (Diablo). Our alliance went on to win Duel on the Delaware this year.

New driver Andrew and Human Player Douglas both put in excellent performances thoughout the day. Quinn assisted the field team with the robot.
